If the Summer Tourist rate does not apply 
from home point, it will be found that the

especially if this is a large city. Round trip 
tickets are used for this Summer tourist rate, 
no certificates being required. The local 
ticket agent will be able to advise the nearest 
point from which the rate does obtain, if he, 
himself cannot furnish it. Inquiry should be 
made early. 








FEES 


(0 The annual registration fee of the Asso- 
ciation is $1.00; the Life Membership fee is 
$10. All teachers who find it impossible to be 
present at the meeting should forward their 
annual enrollment fee, together with their 
present position and address, so that when 
the minute is complete, they will be able to 
receive a copy, and can have a copy of all 
literature sent out during the year. The en- 
roliment, those present, and those sent in- 
should run far into the hundreds. The 


Executive Committee urgently asks that 
where parties cannot be present, the enroll- 


ment fee be forwarded to the Corresponding 
Secretary.
